you “epstein files” people are getting obnoxious. no one cares. he is convicted and sentenced rapist, he is credibly accused of raping a child and he publicly brags about grabbing them by the pussy, he publicly creeps out about wanting to fuck his own daughter - and PEOPLE STILL ELECTED HIM. what do you think would happen if the files were released? FUCKING NOTHING.
so stop acting like it is more important than the fact he is dismantling democracy on live tv. i fucking swear at this point the BuT ThE EpStEiN FiLeS! is starting to look more and more like a russian influence operation.
I would argue that the Epstein files is a threat of democracy. There is a sizeable part of the elite class was alllowed to committ heinous crimes against vulnerable victims. These people will never face justice as long as the Epstein files are confidential.
You can’t have a three tier justice system in a democractic system. First tier, is “Fuck you, you’re going to jail forever”, second tier is “We’re going to slap you on the wrist, don’t do it again.” Third tier is “Don’t worry, you’ll never be held responsible”.
A functional democracy needs to have a functional justice system.
Trump has convinced people that those were all fake as soon as it came out, Epstein is the real pedo, and something something Clinton Biden something. Only problem is, he diverted his followers’ attention so much to Epstein that they believe it’s real (as they should). So now that they’re trying to say it’s a big nothingburger after all, people can’t do that 180 and finding out Trump is implicated would be much different than that “always fake” E Jean Carroll story.
I honestly think he’s pushed the Epstein stuff enough, and society hates pedophilia enough, that that is one of the few things that could obliterate his support and get enough Rs on board for impeachment (not to mention potential prosecution for anything he’s found to have done)

what do you think would change if they released them with his name there? would he step down? would it affect his governing in any way?

Nah the Rs will stay on the Trump wagon and just start raping kids in the street. I guarantee it. These people have shown their colors.
Probably even make a constitutional amendment.
